Solar energy
The Investment-Development Fund offers favourable loans, while Eco-Fund provides generous subsidies (up to 40% of investment) for the installation of photovoltaic panels for the business and agriculture sectors. In 2021, the installation of 5 photovoltaic systems with an installed capacity of 205 kW was supported in Nikšić and Podgorica. Their operation will result in reducing emissions by about 4,000 tons of CO2. The investment will pay for itself in 4-7 years, making the future electricity virtually free.
Instead of being consumers, investors become producers of electricity, who use solar energy to meet their own needs, while selling excess energy to the national energy company. Solar panels brought light to 25 agricultural households in the rural area of Cetinje without access to the distribution network
Business Center
About 250 representatives of small businesses participate in the mentoring support program at the Green Business Center in Cetinje.
Electric cars are on their way
It is possible to travel by e-vehicle throughout Montenegro – from the mountains to the sea. Charging remains free at 27 public e-charging stations!
Hacking the crisis
Coronation, the first online hackathon in Montenegro, has brought innovative digital solutions as a response to the pandemic. The "YOU LEARN" learning platform allows teachers and parents to create educational games for children. Climate change is on our doorstep, so we have received many 'precious' solutions to climate challenges during the two Climathons. One of them is an enterprise that would take over organic waste from hospitality facilities in the Capital city and turn it into quality fertilizer. A parking application that provides information on free spaces helps users to choose the part of the city to park their car
Green Days international conference
For three years now, we have been facilitating "green dialogues" on today's most relevant economic and social topics. We encourage environmental protection and green growth for Montenegro and the region's sustainable and clean future.
